Lenovo Legion Y700 second-generation (the latest) was launched back in July 2023. Now the company has announced that they are working on a refreshed Legion Y700 “Super Control Edition” (translated).

Legion Y700 “Super Control Edition”

This new iteration will only have a refreshed look and feel with a matte display, while all the internal components will stay the same as last year’s offering. It is noted as a “replaced screen version”. It equips the industry’s first micro-nano etched AG glass in the front. As a result, you can expect better visibility with less reflections in certain scenarios like outdoors. It also reportedly offers a soft touch feel to the display.

Lenovo claims that the touch friction of the glass is reduced by a whopping 50%, which if true, would result in a significantly improved user experience.

Just as last year, you will get an 8.8-inch pretty high-resolution 2560X1600 panel underneath the new matte glass. It means a pixel density of 343 PPI.

A Weibo user commented that a new successor with a refreshed chip and other internals will not be available until the second-half of this year. Lenovo officially confirmed this saying the third-generation Y700 “will not be available for at least the next two months.”

Speaking of the internals, the second-generation Legion Y700 tablet packs the 4nm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. There are two memory and storage configurations available – 12GB + 256GB and 16GN + 512GB. You get a 13MP + 2MP dual camera setup on the back and an 8MP selfie on the front. Notably, this second-generation tablet boasts 2x USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 ports and supports display output with DisplayPort 1.4.
